9th Grade English
Welcome back from your three day weekend! I hope it was relaxing! Now, back to work!
Tuesday, September 5th:
Today you should have the title of the book that you are going to read for your literary analysis.
We will share the paragraph we wrote about a person we know who reminds us of a character in Margaret Atwood’s Cat’s Eye.
Then we are going to read the second installment from Margaret Atwood’s Cat’s Eye. We will then break into groups and do a chart on how Elaine has changed, which we will discuss. The chart is on page 149 in your handout. Then we will do a point of view exercise on page 151 in your handout in which you will write an interpretation of the three events from each character’s viewpoint.
Wednesday, September 6th:
Today we will begin working on an individual assignment which will be a three paragraph essay about an event in your life which changed you. This essay must have a rough draft. This will be due on Thursday, September 7th.
Thursday, September 7th:
If our books arrive this week, I will assign some work out of the class set, Six Way Paragraphs, and some vocabulary out of your vocabulary book which you will get to take home with you (pages 4 - 17). This will be due on Tuesday, September 12th.
We will begin reading “The Sniper” - a cool story with a twist - from the anthology, Elements of Literature, and begin working on our reading logs!
Friday, September 8th:
Journal: Choose ten words from your vocabulary and write a short story.
Continue reading and working on “The Sniper”. We may break into groups and rewrite the story from the different characters’ points of view.
